South African Rainbow Alliance (SARA) President, Colleen Makhubele has stepped down as party leader to join uMkhonto weSizwe (MK) Party.
Makhubele once served as the speaker of the City of Johannesburg and was the only councillor that represented Congress of the People (COPE).
After her axing from COPE, Makhubele proceeded to form SARA, conceived as an alliance of smaller parties, including the National Freedom Party (NFP), African Amalgamated Restorative Movement (AARM) and Independent Citizens Movement.
In a statement, she says the MK Party will steer South Africa into the future, bringing about constructive transformation and advancement in African society.
Makhubele further adds that her immediate task as an MK member will be to rally members of society to entrust the future of South Africa and of Africans to the MK Party.
